This is sort of what ex-Loudoun County supervisor Eugene Delgaudio used to do. He'd go to the library, grab all the handout copies of The Washington Blade, and take them so that he could throw them in the trash.

School board candidate checks out many LGBT books from library so others can't see them

A Frederick County Board of Education candidate said she checked out all of the books from an LGBT pride month display at the Brunswick Public Library to make the library a “safe place for children.”
Heather Fletcher checked out the roughly 20 books on Tuesday so that other patrons would not be able to read them, she told the News-Post on Thursday. She said she also took a cup of pins with pronouns — often used as a sign of gender identity — printed on them.
Fletcher said she was “disturbed” by the display and worried it would prompt “age-inappropriate” questions from young children. She said she didn’t want her three children to see the word “queer” on a book and that she removed the items after trying, unsuccessfully, to convince the staff to move the books out of the main lobby area. ... “This has nothing to do with the gay community,” Fletcher said. “It has to do with the preservation of innocence.”
She said Thursday that she would no longer patronize any county libraries. ... Fletcher said on Friday that she had returned the books.
